It was believed to bring luck and signify a person's high status, wealth and hunting prowess. Here, rows of squirrel teeth are arranged together in a silver setting; wearing squirrel parts was thought to channel the resourcefulness of the animal into the hunter. Other popular talismans were claws, antlers, and horns. The term \"Charivari\" derives from the Latin for \"medley\" or \"chaotic collection\".
